Her father was drinking and she had no one but him. Some how she had to hold on to him and what better way than love? Not an easy decision to make for her but she does after a lot of deliberation and yes the story moves slowly.
After his father died, Martin and his mom were both alone. Life slowly started to feel normal again, but Martin could see his mother was still lonely. He wanted to make her happy, to be there for her. But as time passed, he began to notice things—how beautiful she looked, how soft her voice was, and how her body moved. At first, he just wanted to help her feel loved again… but soon, he started to feel something more. Something he shouldn’t feel.
